Want
to be involved in diabetes research? |
| |
People often ask Diabetes UK how they can take
part in research trials, so we are delighted to announce an initiative
from the Diabetes Research Network (DRN) which will help people
with diabetes to play a greater role in research (Diabetes UK) |

Advanced
glycation: implications in tissue damage and disease |
| |
The formation of Advanced glycation end (AGE)
products can be accelerated in certain pathological conditions
such as diabetes. AGE modification of proteins can lead to alterations
of normal function by binding to intracellular or extracellular
cell components, or through receptor binding. This consequently
can initiate a cascade of events, which includes the activation
of signal transduction pathways, which activate inflammatory responses
causing tissue damage (PubMed) |

Insulin
resistance of pregnancy involves estrogen-induced repression
of muscle GLUT4 |
| |
Hyperestrogenism may be involved in the pregnancy-induced
insulin resistance and/or gestational diabetes (PubMed) |

Oral
insulin capsule was safe, effective |
| |
The researchers from the Hadassah University
Medical Center in Jerusalem conducted a study on the effect of
an orally administered insulin capsule (ORMD 0801, Oramed Pharmaceuticals)
on patients with type 2 diabetes (Endocrine Today) |

Barriers
to physical activity among patients with type 1 diabetes |
| |
Fear of hypoglycemia is the strongest barrier
to regular physical activity practice in adults with T1DM, who
should therefore be informed and supported in its management (PubMed) |

Effect
of the dietary fat quality on insulin sensitivity |
| |
It has been hypothesized that change in the
quality of dietary fat supply is able to modify the degree of insulin
sensitivity ... there is limited human data either from normal
or diabetic subjects ... We conclude that the role of dietary fat
quality on insulin sensitivity in human subjects should be further
studied, using experimental designs that address the limitations
of existing data sets (British Journal of Nutrition) |

Cross-sectional
relationship between dietary carbohydrate, glycaemic index, glycaemic
load and risk of the metabolic syndrome in a Korean population |
| |
In conclusion, both the quantity and quality
of carbohydrate intake has a positive relationship with the risk
of the metabolic syndrome in women but this relationship was dependent
on the BMI level (British Journal of Nutrition) |
